Somalia Facts and Country Information...

Somalia
used to be known as the Somali Democratic Republic. This
nation lies in Africa and on the west of Somalia there
is Ethiopia, on its east there is the Indian Ocean, on
its north there is the Gulf of Aden and Yemen, on its
southwest there is Kenya and on its northwest there is
Djibouti. Somalia is considered to be the easternmost
nation in Africa and it is situated in the horn of this
continent. The coastline of this country is the longest
in Africa. Somalia experiences uneven rainfall, seasonal
monsoon winds and a hot climate all through the year.

Most of the people living in Somalia are Sunni Muslims
as Islam was introduced in to the country very early. It
is believed that the religion may have entered the
country long before it was followed by everyone in the
place of its origin. Christianity became less popular in
the seventies when church-run missionaries and schools
were shut down. In fact, the constitution of the country
does not encourage nor promote other religion in the
country apart from Islam. This is the main difference
between this African country and other countries in
Africa because people of other African countries also
follow Christianity and other religions.
